A method of distributing applications between a plurality of machines forming a client system. The method includes determining that applications should be distributed to maximize hardware utilization of each or the plurality of machines; determining a plurality of possible configurations of applications among the plurality of machines; creating a list of all possible configurations; comparing the list of all possible configurations to a database of state information; removing configurations from the list if the configuration is the same as a state previously determined to be non-functional to create a pruned list; generating a score for each configuration on the pruned list by comparing each configuration with states information in the database; selecting the configurations with the highest score, the number of configurations equaling the number of machines; and deploying the selected configurations on the plurality of machines.

The method of claim 1, wherein determining includes receiving a request to add an additional machine to the client system. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the request includes a request to add additional applications. 4. The method of claim 3, determining all possible configurations includes determining combinations that include the additional applications. 5. The method of claim 1, wherein creating includes placing all configurations on the list. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein creating includes placing only configurations that utilize less memory than the machine includes. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein removing includes removing configurations that utilize more memory than the machine includes. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein generating includes assigning a higher score to combinations that match functional states than match degraded states. 9. A method of distributing applications between a plurality of machines forming a client system, the method comprising: determining that applications should be distributed to consolidate free space in the client system on a first machine;removing the first machine from a list of available machines;determining all possible configurations of applications among the plurality of machines on the list of machines;creating a list of all possible configurations;comparing the list of all possible configurations to a database of state information;removing configurations from the list if the configuration is the same as a state previously determined to be non-functional to create a pruned list;generating a score for each configuration on the pruned list by comparing each configuration with states information in the database;selecting the configurations with the highest score, the number of configurations equaling the number of machines;determining that one of the selected configurations requires more hardware than provided by any of the available machines;placing an application in one of the selected configurations having the smallest load on an auxiliary list; anddeploying the application on the first machine. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein determining includes receiving a request to add an additional machine to the client system. 11.
